African Agricultural Machinery Delegation Visits Heavy Machinery Company

Recently, an African agricultural machinery delegation made up of officials from the Department of Rural Economy and Agriculture of the African Union (AU) and from the governments of Nigeria, Ethiopia, South Africa, and Mozambique visited ZoomlionHeavy Machinery Company and held talks with the company's deputy general manager, Liu Hongyan, and other high-level personnel on how to enhance the level of agricultural mechanization and expand the use of Chinese advanced agricultural equipment in Africa.

The delegation toured the company's advanced manufacturing base and inspected its global information and services systems. The delegation praised the Heavy Machinery Company for its commitment to providing complete solutions for local agricultural production mechanization, and especially for developing a series of agricultural machinery products suited to African cultivation methods, agronomics, and user habits. The delegation also signaled its intention to work with the company in the future.

Yuan Yongfu, deputy general manager of the Heavy Machinery Branch Company, told reporters, "The agricultural production and agronomic features of the African continent are diverse. Thanks to our capabilities and advantages in areas such as network systems, user demand information, product innovation, overseas services systems, and overseas customer training, the Heavy Machinery Company's products have been popular with African users and orders from Africa are increasing.".

Director of the Nigerian National Agricultural Mechanization Center, AzoguIkechukwu Ignatius, commented that the lack of after-sale service with agricultural machinery in Africa is a real problem, but the Heavy Machinery Company not only offers good products but an excellent overseas service system, allowing it to provide customers with training, which is vital for promoting agricultural mechanization in Africa.

Maurice LorkaN'Guessan, senior advisor to the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Program (CAADP) and member of the AU's Department of Rural Economy and Agriculture, said"There are broad prospects for China-Africa cooperation, especially in the area of agricultural cooperation. I hope the Heavy Machinery Branch Company becomes more involved, as it will allow the people of Africa to raise the level of agricultural mechanization and help solve the problem of food security on the African continent.".
